Popis: Due to the advancement of digital dentistry, the Digital Smile Design (DSD) technique has been gaining credibility on the part of professionals and patients. The planning of aesthetic and functional restorative treatments becomes more predictable with its use. This case report presents a patient with aesthetic complaint of the size and shape of her anterior teeth, associated with great gingival exposure. Photographs were important assistants in the planning of dental intervention. These were used for facial analysis, drawings of guidelines and more suitable dental forms. A software called Keynote was used, capable of managing photos, creating measurements, straight and curved lines, facilitating the planning of a new dental proportion. At the end of this process, the patient can observe, through the help of photographs, the new smile that was built virtually. That way, it became easier for her to accept the treatment plan, allowing her to make a test of her new smile with the mock-up.
